I know you can achieve these tremendous benefits and more at The American Black Belt Academy because hundreds of our students around the country already have! • • •
• • • At The American Black Belt Academy you'll develop a healthy and unified mind, body and spirit
I don't blame you if you're initially skeptical about the notion of a martial arts school helping you achieve some of life's most meaningful gifts: Peace of mind, harmony, spiritual awakening, health and fitness, confidence, greater wisdom and compassion. Maybe you took classes in Tae Kwon Do or modern sport Karate as a kid but all you remember is a lot of kicking, punching and sweating while screaming "Yes sir" and bowing a lot. That was my case: I had studied martial arts for several years as a teenager at what I thought was a pretty good school, but it did little to impact my wisdom, compassion or spiritual growth. Once I reach the jungles of Viet Nam I knew that training was lacking and so have made a quest of searching out the very best teachers around the world for the past 45 years. Once I had the chance to study authentic classical martial arts training at one of the most highly-esteemed dojo's on Okinawa and later traveled to China to continue my education and finally discovered what true martial arts is all about. It totally changed my training, and my life, and I guarantee it will your too. The majority of martial arts, yoga and health centers today have unfortunately lost the traditional teachings – rooted classical success principles taught that work in battle, in school, in relationships and in business – that are imperative to go along with the kicking, punching and body exercises. Without these teachings it's next to impossible to achieve the mental and spiritual growth that can help you achieve lasting peace and happiness in life or to teach true leadership capabilities . Fortunately, a handful of martial arts schools do maintain the essential teachings that will help you cultivate your total mind, body and spirit. The American Black Belt Academy is among the very best of these authenic schools. Our classes in Tai Chi, Classical Okinawan Karate and Streetwise Self Defense) offer a complete mind, body and spirit development program if your primary goals include stress reduction, relaxation, optimal health and well-being, improved fitness, longevity, weight control, greater self-awareness, refinement of martial arts skills, better balance and coordination, true success principles that will lead to peace of mind and greater spiritual cultivation. If you also want great street self-defense and combat skills, The American Black Belt Academy is the real deal!
Some of our students only want good health and peace of mind, and that's fine. But others want genuine and effective self-defense and combat skills. Just as all martial arts schools are not equal when it comes to the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings of martial arts, all schools are not equal when it comes to combat and street self-defense readiness. For thousands of years people in need of security have searched out and hired ex-military, elite martial artists and law enforcement to keep themselves and theit families safe. This is not an area for paper tigers or sport champions and our elite members follow that tradition by offerring executive protecting and security services for some of the most elite families and companies in the country. Fancy kicks, acrobatics, winning trophys, gymnastics and flowery movements have nothing to do with real self-defense. What matters are practical and direct strikes, joint submissions and throws executed with speed and power, and a complete understanding of the weak points and vital targets on an opponent. Beyond even the physical techniques and movements, real street self-defense requires proper mental preparation and the development of a "survival" mindset. Even though I had trained in martial arts for several years, I really had no true understanding of the key principles and hidden techiques withing the forms until I lived on Okinanwa and trained in China. As a former Special Forces trained soldier, law enforcement officer and a professional private security consultant I realized how mentally or physically unprepared most martial artists are to defend themselves in a true life-or-death street situation. That is why we focused on Streetwise Succes, what is not about ego or impressing people, but what works on the street, for self defense, personal goals and even business tactics. Now, over 45 years later, I continue to practice and refine the combat and self-defense skills taught to me by my master teachers on Okinawa and China and I teach them in their entirety to my students at The American Black Belt Academy. I make a clear distinction between sport competition, such as full-contact sparring or MMA stuff, and street self-defense. In my mind both have value and I have trained in both, but you need to remember that they're two different things. Competition has rules, the street has only one rule: Do whatever it takes to survive. Results rule - period! Our classes in classical martial arts are for you if your goals include getting into the best physical shape of your life, learning top-notch self-defense and combat skills, learning strategies for self-protection, and developing the superior confidence, discipline, bravery and wisdom that traditional martial arts are known for. These fundamentals will arm children to set goals and achieve anything in life, and guess what, it works for adults too. Note: Most of our students who take our classical martial arts training also take advantage of the tai chi, 18 postures leadership training and meditation classes. Not only will those classes give you the many health and spiritual benefits listed above, but they'll also can help make you a considerably better martial artist.
